Doctoral Programme in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering
Objectives
• To promote the research in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, allowing the development of relevant areas of international scientific knowledge.
• To present the development of recognized technological and scientific research activities at international level.
• To contribute to the high quality academic education in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering (3 rd Cycle) and offering this education at international level.
Overview
The Doctoral Program in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering is integrated in the 3rd cycle of studies following the Bologna Agreement as a complement of the first and second cycles in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering.
The Doctoral Program in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering comprises a curricular component leading to an Advanced Studies Diploma (ASD) and a research component leading to the PhD thesis.
The themes of the PhDs in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering are those that reflect the problems of the speciality, and involve planning, design, construction, exploitation and systems maintenance of vehicle and structures aimed at exploring the ocean resources, namely:
• Marine Environment,
• Dynamics and Hydrodynamics,
• Marine Structures,
• Ship Design,
• Maritime Transportation and Ports,
• Risk Analysis and Safety Management,
• Reliability Based Maintenance,
• Design of Ocean Systems,
• Fishing Technology and Aquaculture and
• Sailing Yachts
History
The first PhD in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering was granted in 1998. After that and according to the new rules of the Bologna Agreement the Doctoral Programme in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering was created by deliberation of the Scientific Council of IST on the 26th April 2000. In 2017 the name was changed to Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering.
The research themes of the PhDs are frequently related to international projects developed in collaboration with European universities, international organizations and industry, which assure the actuality of the themes and contacts with the best researchers at international level.
Some of these themes have interfaces with other areas of Engineering, but in this specific case, the PhDs in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering are distinguished more by their domain of application than by the tools used.
Candidates
The PhD is intended to Engineers holding a 5 years undergraduate degree or a Master degree in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering or related areas that aspire to acquire and deepen their scientific knowledge in this area.
Employment
The holder of a Doctoral Degree in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering can work at Universities, Research Laboratories, Enterprises, Governmental Offices and Public Administration, as well as in industry, specially advanced technology companies.
